Sellers: As we hammer out your transaction, I'll not only work to get the highest sales price, but I'll also push for limited closing costs. And once we've reached an agreement, I'll fully explain the closing costs so you are aware of exactly what you're paying for.

Buyers: When buying real estate in Travis County, you will be given a "Good Faith Estimate" (GFE) of closing costs within three days of submitting your loan application. The estimate is based on the loan officer's past experiences and is required to be within a tolerable range so you're not shocked when you get to the closing table. I'll be happy to look at the GFE with you, answering your questions and highlighting any estimates that appear to be out of the ordinary.
